SEPTEMBER- 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialWhen the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, daily life across the globe drastically changed. Air transport remained one of the hardest-hit global industries since the very beginning of the crisis. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a full-scale global transportation crisis. Along with the human tragedy, the situation has also dramatically damaged the global economy, trade, and mobility. Even as most countries have moved away from all-encompassing lockdowns and are now trying to limit the infections with targeted and less disruptive restrictions, most jurisdictions have retained partially restrictive international travel regulations, including self-quarantine on arrival. COVID-19 remains a hurdle for the aviation sector, despite positive signs and prospects for recovery. With the help of end-to-end digitization, airports are introducing many new health and biosafety measures to help ensure the health and safety of passengers.From thermal scanning to contact passenger on boarding, every solution implemented is with the goal of re-building passenger confidence. Self-service technologies deployed at various touch points throughout the passenger journey will help significantly optimize passenger flow while removing the need to handle physical identity documents and boarding passes. Furthermore, real-time information sharing is another must in the post-pandemic world. Airports need to take advantage of their existing communication channels and inform their passengers at every step of their journey. The Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS) not only ensures the distribution of flight information to a variety of public and staff display devices, but it can also display COVID measures for the public. On that note, we present the insights of the most promising Aviation Companies in the solutions providers space - 2021 to help organizations explore and unlock perspectives that translate to desired business and operational outcomes.
